Amazon Kindle Fire 2 to feature bigger, better screen

Devs in the know have let slip that the Amazon Kindle Fire 2 will feature a much-improved screen with a slightly different shape.

The better display will feature a 1280 x 800 pixel resolution – a significant step up from the current 1024 x 600 pixel affair, as well as a new aspect ratio that will change the screen shape very slightly.

The screen details come from All Things D which had it from developers who Amazon briefed on the upgraded tablet so they can ready their apps for the second generation.

As well as the improved display, the Kindle Fire 2 will apparently come rocking a built-in camera and be thinner and lighter than its older sibling.
